Pine Crest - Overnight Camp - All-Gender

Description

Please Note: This is an all-gendered program; cabin accommodations will be all-gendered.

Get ready for an incredible week of excitement, outdoor education, leadership building and winter fun! Welcome to March Break Leadership Overnight Camp at YMCA Camp Pine Crest! This camp is open to youth aged 14-16 and will take place from March 10-14, 2025. Details below!

Participants will enjoy playing outdoors, challenging themselves, and making new friends on our beautiful 650-acre property in the heart of Muskoka. Camp in the winter is a unique experience that lends itself to a new appreciation of the Canadian Outdoors and unlocks fun programing that campers don't get at any other time of year.

This week's activities will be weather-dependent but are likely to include snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, high ropes, arts and crafts, snow tubing, maple sugaring and so much more! These activities will have a focus on leadership skill building and will allow campers to challenge themselves and learn more about different leadership styles.

Pine Crest is offering bus transportation to and from this event, however parents are more than welcome to drop their campers off at camp if they prefer! The bus to camp will leave from the Central YMCA at 8am on Monday March 10 and will also pick up at Hollywood PS around 9:15am before heading up to camp. The bus home will leave Pine Crest at 2pm on March 14, dropping off at Hollywood PS around 4:30pm and at the Central YMCA around 6:00pm.

Arrival at camp begins at 11:30am on Monday! Lunch for the campers will kick off at 12:15pm, so we ask that all parents dropping off at camp depart by that time. The week includes 3 meals/day & snacks, accommodations, and counselor-led programming and supervision throughout the days and nights. Departure from Pine Crest is at 2:00pm on Friday. If picking up at camp on Friday, parent arrival begins at 1:30pm.

There are some things you should remember to bring to camp when you come for the week! Your basic packing list might look something like this!

Sleeping Bag/Bedding & Pillow

Winter Jacket & Snow Pants

Toque & Mitts/Gloves

Winter Boots & Indoor Shoes/Slippers
